Kaladan Multimodal Transport Project in Mizoram EIA-EMP Report Construction of Road from NH-54 to Indo-Myanmar Border Chapter-1 Introduction Kaladan Multimodal Transport Project in Mizoram EIA-EMP Report Construction of road from NH-54 to Indo-Myanmar border Chapter-1 Introduction CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background India occupies a strategic position in Asia, looking across the seas to Arabia and Africa on the west and Burma, Malaysia and the Indonesian Archipelago on the east. Geographically, the Himalayan ranges keep India apart from the rest of Asia. In India Mizoram State is bordering Myanmar in the east & south and Bangladesh in the West. Map 1.1 Map showing position of Mizoram in India Government of India is establishing good ties with the neighbouring countries especially with eastern neighbours, both economically and politically. With the growth of global economic development and Asia in particular the Govt. of India set up a new policy known as “Look East Government of Mizoram Page 1- 1 Public Works Department, Mizoram Kaladan Multimodal Transport Project in Mizoram EIA-EMP Report Construction of road from NH-54 to Indo-Myanmar border Chapter-1 Introduction Policy” wherein a sectoral trade link will be established with the far east countries. River Kaladan, after meandering along the Indo Myanmar Boarder at North East India flows through the southern part of Mizoram (India) and finally empties itself at Sittwe, the sea port in Myanmar into Bay of Bengal. This river can be utilizedc as a Trade Route with the eastern countries by Inland waterway upto the navigable point and by road transport where navigation is not feasible .Then the goods to imported can be distributed in other parts of the country especially among north eastern states by road or train .So the means of transport comprises of sea, inland water, roads & railways and land will serve as a Multi-Modal trade route. Recognizing the current inadequate transportation infrastructure facility of the country and the vital role transportation sector plays in the accelerated economic growth of the country; Government of India has placed a high priority in this sector's development to meet the current and future highway transportation needs. An agreement has been reached between Government of India and Govt. of Myanmar to develop a Multi Modal Trade Route between the two countries. The first part of the trade route is through the inland waterway of River Kaladan in Myanmar from its confluence point at Bay of Bengal at Sittwe up to the suitable navigable point at Kaletwa (Setpyitpyin), Myanmar. The second part covers from Kaletwa up to R. Zocha at Indo Myanmar border by road. The portion of the road now being surveyed and investigated covers from Lawngtlai town at NH-54, in Mizoram, India upto R. Zocha at Indo - Myanmar border to form the Indian part of the said Multi Modal Trade Route which is entirely within the Lawngtlai district of Mizoram, India. The length of the road along the surveyed alignment is 99.830 Km. Both the Trade Agreement signed between the two countries in 1994 widened trade between the two countries by designating two border trading points. The first one at Moreh (Manipur, India) – Tamu (Myanmar) which had been operationalized in April, 1995. The other Trading point at Zokhawthar (Mizoram, India) – Rih (Myanmar) which was inaugurated in January, 2004. Through these two Border Trading points, different items from cotton yarn, auto parts, pharmaceuticals and soyabean meal etc were exported into Myanmar while Moong dals, dry ginger, turmeric roots and raisin, betel nuts, etc. are imported from Myanmar. With the opening of this trading point, bilateral trade between the two countries has greatly expanded from US $12.4 million in 1980 – 1981 to US $427.9 million in 2001 – 2002. Besides, the trade value is still increasing and the items are expanding. A Joint Trade Committee (JTC) set up in July, 2003 Government of Mizoram Page 1- 2 Public Works Department, Mizoram Kaladan Multimodal Transport Project in Mizoram EIA-EMP Report Construction of road from NH-54 to Indo-Myanmar border Chapter-1 Introduction between India and Myanmar has become an essential element towards building good relation and fostering mutually beneficial cooperation. Now, the bilateral trade turn over is coming to US $1 billion plus. To improve border trade India has offer assistance to Myanmar in the development of road communication, hydro electric power project and hydro carbon sector infrastructure in Myanmar, viz . a) The Rih-Tiddim and Rih-Falam roads along the Chin-Mizoram border. b) India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway (THP) Project. c) Hydroelectric power project (600 – 1000 MW) at Tamanthi. d) Hydrocarbon sector in, the offshore region near the Rankhine coast. e) Kaladan Multimodal Transport Project. The feasibility study, carried out by RITES Ltd. during 1999-2000 revealed that the R.Kaladan is navigable from its confluence point with the Bay of Bengal near Sittwe upto Kaletwa ( Setpyitpin) on the upstream side of the river. Beyond Kaletwa, towards the Indian border, the river is not navigable owing to shallow water and frequent rapids. The transport by road is, therefore , proposed for this stretch ( i.e from Kaletwa in Myanmar to Lawngtlai on NH 54 in Mizoram). The proposed road link from Kaletwa in Myanmar to Lawngtlai on NH – 54 in Mizoram forms a part of the proposed development of multi modal trade route along the river Kaladan between Mizoram ( India) and Chin State in Myanmar. The road connectivity between Kaletwa in Myanmar and Lawngtlai on NH-54 within Mizoram India has been divided into two parts: From Lawngtlai on NH-54 in Mizoram upto River Zocha at Indo Myanmar border – 99.830 Km. From R.Zocha i.e. Indo Myanmar border upto Kaletwa in Myanmar - 62 .000 km (approx).

It was one of the districts of Assam till 1972 when it became a Union Territory. Sandwiched between Myanmar (Burma) in the east and south and Bangladesh in the west, Mizoram occupies an area of great strategic importance in the northeastern corner of India. It has a total of 630 miles boundary with Myanmar (Burma) and Bangladesh. Mizoram has the most variegated hilly terrain in eastern part of India. The hills are steep and are separated by rivers, which flow either to the north or south creating deep gorges between the hill ranges. The average height of the hills is about 900 meters. The highest peak in Mizoram is the Blue Mountain (Phawngpui) with a height of 2210 meters. Government of Mizoram Page 1- 5 Public Works Department, Mizoram Kaladan Multimodal Transport Project in Mizoram EIA-EMP Report Construction of road from NH-54 to Indo-Myanmar border Chapter-1 Introduction Mizoram Road Network consists of 6808 kms of road with road categories mentioned below: Road Category Length (kms) National Highway 566 State highways 240 Major District roads 1498 Other District Roads 2227 Village Roads 1348 Total 6808 No of Districts 8 Map 1.3 Road network of Mizoram Government of Mizoram Page 1- 6 Public Works Department, Mizoram Kaladan Multimodal Transport Project in Mizoram EIA-EMP Report Construction of road from NH-54 to Indo-Myanmar border Chapter-1 Introduction As per the economic survey 1990-91, the increase in the population of vehicles has been 14.44%. However, during the last ten years, the transport has observed tremendous increase. The heavy traffic pressures on the deficient roads are rendering the quality of pavement very poor. 1.3 Project Road- Kaladan Multi-Modal Transport Route The proposed Project Road takes off at 76.400km of NH-54 at Lawngtlai Town, running towards South and joins Kaletwa (Myanmar) to River Zocha road sector at Indo Myanmar border road. The Projected length of the road from Lawngtlai to the Indo Myanmar border is 99.830 Km. The Projected road alignment passes through frequently cultivated jhum land. It also crosses Lawngtlai to Diltlang Parva road that runs towards south west of Lawngtlai town. It also crosses Nalkawn Chamdul Valley road at four points. The road also passes through the villages of Saizawh east and Zochachhuah . The height of the road at various locations varies from 26 m near River Zocha to 780 m Lawngtlai Town, above mean sea level (MSL). The proposed alignment of the project passes through Lawngtlai District in North-South direction. The whole length of the project will be fresh cutting of mountainous as steep terrain with broken contours. The alignment of the project road traverses through frequently cultivated jhoom lands where the cycle of cultivation by cutting and burning of trees and bamboos is 4 – 5 years. At some places the project corridor is within few kilometers of natural forest and virgin land of thick undergrowth of evergreen bushes and creeping plants. 1.4 Objective of the Project The proposed Trade Route between the two countries will serve as a major intra and inter regional Trade Route, economically and culturally. It will also serve as one of the most important corridors for Freight Movement between the two countries. The proposed transport connectivity will also help in socio economic development of the north eastern region of India by allowing cargo to be transported from Kolkata, Haldia and other foreign ports via the ports of Sittwe/Kaletwa by coastal shipping , inland water transport and road transport modes with cheaper cost and vice versa.

  • Globalization and Connectivity in Mizoram
    Vol. VI, Issue 2 (December 2020) http://www.mzuhssjournal.in/ Globalization and Connectivity in Mizoram T. Lianhmingsanga * Abstract The process of globalization has resulted in the improvement of infrastructure and transportation and communication, international trade, and business. Along with globalization in Mizoram, the Act East Policy will play a significant role in the development of the state and it will gain many benefits as it will be the corridor for Southeast Asia and central India. Many routes in terms of aviation, by-roads, and of course railways within Mizoram state will lie in a great strategic point for India. Also, the coming up of globalization in the state of Mizoram has brought much development for the state as well as for the people. But development cannot be seen immensely as the connectivity within the state is in very bad shape. For the accomplishment and flourish of the so-called ‘Act East Policy’ good connectivity within the state is a must. Keywords : Connectivity, Globalization, Flourish, Transport. Introduction Globalization integrates and mobilizes the cultural values of the people. Many states and countries are amalgamated and mutated due to globalization. It has a gigantic effect on the social, economic, political, cultural, and way of life. Globalization is the progression over which societies and economies which is incorporated over cross border flow of ideas, technology, capital, communication, goods and services, and that of information. The process of globalization began in the 20th century; as a result, the improvement of infrastructure and transportation and communication, international trade, and business gradually grew rapidly. Due to this, the way of life, livelihood, and culture of the Mizo has immensely changed.
